Golden Eagles overcome lackluster first half, avoid upset against Robert Morris

Junior center Theo John attempts a shot against Robert Morris in MU's 66-62 win Nov. 23 at Fiserv Forum. He finished with eight points.

Marquette found a way to come out with the win at Fiserv Forum on Saturday against the Robert Morris Colonials 66-62 despite the team’s lowest-scoring first half since 2014.

Robert Morris had a 20-19 lead at halftime after an incredibly unproductive first half for Marquette. The Golden Eagles had 13 turnovers in the half, but Robert Morris struggled to take advantage.

The Colonials only shot 30% from the field with Marquette shooting a little better at 37%.
